 Our Global Warming Program works throughout California to create an informed and engaged constituency who advocate for strong global warming policies at all levels of government. We bring our policy expertise to the state Capitol in Sacramento and to state agencies to promote sound policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly from land use and water management decisions. In partnership with the National Wildlife Federation, we also engage California sportsmen and conservationists to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help wildlife survive the unavoidable impacts of global warming.
The task is challenging. The reasons are clear - for our children, for ourselves. Find out how our program can help your organization create global warming action and accountability today!
On the Edge: Protecting California’s Fish and Waterfowl from Global Warming (1.6MB PDF file)

It also outlines achievable, effective solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reform management of California’s water, and help protect wildlife from global warming. If you are a journalist covering the release of this report, please contact Matt Vander Sluis.
Local Climate Action Initiative
PCL’s Local Climate Action Initiative creates a venue for grassroots environmental leaders to learn about policies their local governments can adopt to cut the global warming pollution from new developments. We offer workshops and a toolkit of education and advocacy materials with examples of successful community campaigns, policy templates, fact sheets, sample press releases, etc. To request a workshop in your community, please contact Matt Vander Sluis.
